The FK Northeast showing is underlain by rocks of the Devonian to Pennsylvanian Stikine Assemblage intruded by Late Devonian dioritic rock of the Forrest Kerr Plutonic Suite.

Previous sampling in the vicinity of Area B showed a 1.5 metre wide zone of highly fractured basalt in which malachite stain along with 2-3 per cent chalcopyrite and 1-2 per cent disseminated pyrite occurs. A sample taken in 1991 from this showing assayed 1.55 per cent copper (Assessment Report 21911). Two chip samples taken in the vicinity of this showing failed to locate anything of significant interest.

In 1990, Royal Scot Resources performed geological mapping and stream sediment sampling on accessible portions of the property. A total of 12 rock samples and 13 stream sediment samples were collected for analysis In 1991, 3 Royal Scot personnel collected a total of 3 silt and 36 rock chip samples from the property.

In 2009 and 2010 respectively, 46 and 24 soil samples were collected on behalf of the Forgold Syndicate Ltd, whose property covers the historic Forgold, For and FK properties (Assessment Reports 31344, 32094, 32574).
